Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1273801A2] A vacuum pump draws gas by operating a gas conveying body (23-32) in a pump chamber (39-43) through rotation of a rotary shaft (19, 20). The vacuum pump has an oil housing member (14, 33). The oil housing member (14, 33) defines an oil zone (331) adjacent to the pump chamber (39-43). The rotary shaft (19, 20) has a projecting portion that projects from the pump chamber (39-43) into the oil zone (331) through the oil housing member (14, 33). Stoppers (67, 68, 72) are located on the rotary shaft (19, 20) to integrally rotate with the rotary shaft (19, 20) and prevent oil from entering the pump chamber (39-43). The stoppers (67, 68, 72) are located along the axial direction of the rotary shaft (19, 20). <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
